Drink Lots of Liquids
Kids, like any other living creature, get unhappy when they are not properly fed and watered. Make sure you take frequent breaks for food, and carry extra water or gatorade with you. It's amazing how quickly an unhappy child can become content again if you simply do these two things.
Traveling with Babies or Toddlers
Traveling with babies or toddlers? Reduce the stress by swapping homes with another young family. Your children will have new toys and books to use, possibly local playmates, and you won`t need to bring so much stuff with you. You may even have a willing local babysitter to give you a break from the children.
Plan with the Kids
Don't just make the vacation plans and then tell the kids they Will Enjoy It. Involve them in the plans. Let them help choose what to see and do. The more they feel like they had input into the event, the more they'll feel pleased with results they had a hand in.

Finding a Lost Kid
When traveling with children, be sure you have a recent photo of each one and arrange a meeting point if you become separated.
Find a Booth Seat
If you've got a young kid, get a booth seat and put the child in where they can't cause much trouble. It's better than trying to keep them sitting properly in a chair, with the legs down, and not running around when they get bored.
Safety Seats
All states in the US require children under 4 years old to be in an approved child-safety seat while riding in an automobile.
Snacks and Kids
When traveling with kids, be sure to take plenty of snacks and bottled water or other drinks. You never know when you might be in a traffic jam or delayed on an airplane runway.
